Hi everyone this is my first fanfiction so I decided to go with this idea I had. JSYK: I'm taking the entirety of the buddyfight universe and making some drastic changes. This is a no smoking zone so plz go easy on me if I make any mistakes. ENJOY!
Darkness, and then a flash of white light. The searing pain on an atomic level. The screams, always makes me cringe even in a dream. I was jolted back to the world of the living in a cold sweat. By the silence of the house my parents must have left for their respective places of work. Well my adoptive parents, my biological ones both died years ago. My name is Dante Kugaru, I live in Tokyo, Japan.
My real mother was a college student in America, my father a Japanese exchange student. I guess you can connect the dots on my unusual name with that info. I'm 14 and in the 9th grade. I currently attend Aibo Academy, one of the best schools for buddyfighting in the world. I swung my legs over my queen sized bed. I took a look around my room, the walls painted light grey. Nothing much except a dresser, a small closet, a desk, and a plasma screen TV mounted on the wall.
I stood up on wobbly legs and took a few steps towards my dresser. As I fished out my clothes I would be wearing to school that day I reflected on my history, wondering what in the world I could have done in a previous life to deserve the one I have now. I had changed into my signature black dress pants, and went over to the closet and threw the sliding door open. I grabbed a red button up shirt and only buttoned a few in the middle exposing some of my collar bone and my belly button. I closed the door and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My snow white hair bed ragged and my red eyes, tired.
I turned away and faced my bedroom door, my black trench coat hanging from the door hook. I took it, slung it over my shoulder, and headed down the narrow stairwell down to the living room. My parents left me Yen to buy a boxed lunch at the market on my way to school. There was some still warm steamed rice and miso soup at the dining table. I opened the fridge and grabbed some soy sauce pouring some on my rice, and a pair of chopsticks. I enjoyed my breakfast and dumped the dishes in the sink. I glanced at the clock, 7. I had a fair amount of time to get to school so I decided to sit on the couch and watch TV. I saw Asmodai's Dance Show, and some other programs but nothing caught my eye, so I decided to turn it off and just stop by Castle store. I tidied up and made sure everything was locked up tight. I slipped into my shoes at the step across from the door. I locked it with my key and opened the shōji to the out front garden. I locked the gate, and went on my way.
The walk to Castle wasn't far at all, at least 2 minutes. I arrived at the store and walked in. The manager greeted me with enthusiasm.
"Welcome to Castle, how may I help you," I just shook my head and picked up a foil packet of Buddyfight cards.
"Well alright then, just follow me to the counter and I'll get this rung up for you." I followed the manager, weaving in and out of the crowd, to the counter.
He charged me 100 Yen for the pack. I held it close praying that the foil pack held within a miracle. Aside from the pack being completely Magic World cards, no such luck. I have been attending Aibo Academy for 6 years and in all my hard work to become a strong buddyfighter I still don't have a buddy monster, it was pathetic. I added the cards from the pack directly into my deck, they were mostly offensive spells, there would be time to find Baku at lunch to balance my deck out again. I threw the foil into a bin, and headed to school, my coat flowing behind me.
